Parameter variations, which are increasing along with advances in process technologies, affect both timing and power. Variability must be considered at both the circuit and microarchitectural design levels to keep pace with performance scaling and to keep power consumption within reasonable limits. This article presents an overview of the main sources of variability and surveys variation-tolerant circuit and microarchitectural approaches.
Index Terms:
variation-tolerant design, processor architectures, performance and reliability, impact of VLSI on system design
